Phew, macabre indeed. You succeeded in creating a very scary atmosphere and I feel truly sorry for Johanna. Turpin is a mean (and frightingly realistic!) bastard here. Even if it's weird and twisted but that's why we like him, don't we? ;) Still, I wished he would be a little nicer to her in the future. Will there be an update soon? I'm curious to read more.

And - ten babies with Catherine? My, what a stamina. ;)

Anyway, this pairing is really very, very rare and I love to see more of your thoughts on their relationship.
